Really like the main motif. The sound you used is awesome. I love how you used a synth sound in a more "conventional" way (I mean that as a good thing). Thomas Newman is awesome for that. Just sounds like music, as opposed to electronic music. :) 

Incidentally, as I was writing my previous comment, the next song you have on your soundcloud page came on. Love it! You're unique, and that is always inspiring. 
 

I think you got the "among the stars" feeling just right. I get that it's a kind of leader into something else.

Nice piece.
 
I agree with changing it up a bit....the same repeating lick.... vary it a bit..... add the octave up, vary the lick a bit as it moves through the song.  Lengthen the notes to give a more spacy feeling.....add verb to it as well.....
 
I didn't get a feeling from the music that I was among the stars floating...mostly from the short duration of the notes in the lick with no verby feel...... not like I was expecting based on the title.
 
A little more work by editing some things and I think that basic underlying song works fine.
 
 
Yeah.... move something to the top and it will get more plays..... people only go 2 or 3 songs down in most play lists on the net.    Impatient people.... needing instant gratification or they are out and looking it somewhere else....

I like it for what you mean it to be, I think...an intro.  It doesn't go on long enough to have a lot to say about it really.  It sounds cool, spacey, ambient, just like you said.  I liked it.  If this were the first song, I'd probably say "oh cool, let's light one up, this could be a cool album...".  You've set the table here.

Thanks Michael.  Very kind words. :)  Just using Thomas Newman's name in the same paragraph as my music is humbling.

Thanks for your comments Herb.  I hear what you're saying, but I think you may be focusing too much on the "high arpeggiation" sound, which is supposed to be more of a background part, while the legato strings and eerie synth sounds add the "spacy" feeling underneath.  That's where all the reverb and variations are in this song.

Thanks Tim.  You're right... this song isn't going to win any awards.  It's just a "title page", if you will.  Something to whet the appetite for the rest of the album.  Anyway, glad you enjoyed it!

Works as an intro, I would pull that percussive key part that seems to have the lead back a little bit and actually add a lead/melody instrument over the top. But hey? Everybody's a producer...

Very nice intro - the changes that are going on in the background are very subtle.
If you really want any crits/ideas then maybe use a radical filter on the main riff but fade it in verrrrry slowly with automation so the sound changes over the piece.

This will make a nice intro into your cd. Well mixed as usual...How close are you to being finished with the project?
